Abduct a shadow guard to investigate the case

Xuan Qi followed the boy to the backyard of Lexian Building, passed through the arch, and entered a garden.

The wind moved, the moonlight was hidden behind the clouds, and the figures on the ground were swallowed by darkness.

Xuan Qi's footsteps paused slightly, and the fingertips of both hands hanging by his side moved slightly.

At this moment, from behind the bushes on both sides of the garden, several figures suddenly rushed out, smashing the wind with sticks and fists.

No one saw how Xuan Qi made the move, but the next moment, there was a scream, the stick fell, and the figure fell to the ground.

The clouds open and the moon shines.

Seven or eight big men fell to the ground, clutching their right hands one after another, howling continuously.They all had triangular darts tied on the backs of their hands. The darts were slender and penetrated deep into the flesh, and blood was bubbling from the wounds.

Xuan Qi stood on the spot, the moonlight shining on his slender figure.His face was gloomy and he couldn't see any emotion, but the aura around him was colder than the moonlight.

The only boy on the scene who was not hit by the dart grinned in fright, turned around and tried to run.

Xuan Qi stretched out his arm and grabbed the boy by the collar, dragging him back.

On the ground, a strong man with a scar on his face took advantage of Xuan Qi's distraction, and swung the meteor hammer on the ground like him to throw it.

Xuan Qi didn't even look at it, turned his body slightly, swung his other arm to block and circle, and accurately avoided the hammer head of the meteor hammer, and wrapped the chain around his arm.

Scarface felt a powerful force coming along the chains, his palms, arms and shoulders were numb. His face turned pale, and the weapon dropped instantly.

Xuan Qi glanced at everyone on the ground, and everyone felt like a locked prey, and they didn't dare to move around without authorization.At this time, Xuan Qi asked, "Where is my companion?" His voice was deep and clear, like a cold moon and ice spring in the night.

"You, don't act recklessly..." A big man with triangular eyes stammered, "If you act recklessly, your friend will die... Ah!"

Before he finished speaking, he let out a short exclamation, the meteor hammer in Xuan Qi's hand flew past his face, and hit the ground beside him heavily.

"I'll ask again, where is he?" Xuan Qi showed no panic or worry on his face, his tone became colder, and the big man's forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat.

Xuan Qi's heart was already in panic and torment. When he heard the threat from the big man, a kind of fear that he had never experienced before struck his heart. Even when he was in danger of life and death before, he had never experienced such a state of mind. It is the heart that is tied to a certain place, and the uncontrollable worry and pain, lest the tie be broken and lost.

He is betting, hiding his emotions deep in his heart, using threats to win the answer, his eyes are fixed on the big man, as long as he sees a trace of determination or killing intent in that man's expression, he will change his strategy without hesitation , or kill the Quartet or show weakness to negotiate, only look at the result, regardless of the consequences.

However, he knew that he had won the bet, and the big man's expression changed from ferocious to terrified, and finally cracked a timid crack.

Pain in the back of the neck was Shen Yao's first feeling when he woke up.

He opened his eyes and saw the shadow cast by the moonlight on the ground through the window lattice.He wanted to reach out and rub his neck, but found that his hands were tightly bound behind his back by a thick hemp rope, and he was lying on the ground of a hut at this time, his legs were also tied by hemp rope.

"Huh? Woke up so soon? Old Wu's stick seems to have hit him too lightly!" A rough male voice sounded above his head.

Shen Yao raised his eyes and couldn't help frowning. The man guarding him was the man who was called "the third child" before.

The third child slanted one corner of his mouth, squatted down in front of Shen Yao, and watched with interest as he slightly adjusted his restrained body with half of his shoulder.

"I thought you were so powerful, but you turned out to be a coward who is afraid of spiders, haha——" The third child smiled evilly, and reached out to lift a strand of hair from Shen Yao's face, "Look at your red lips and white teeth, stay upstairs It would be appropriate to be a rabbit master here."

Listening to the third child's obscenities, Shen Yao gritted his teeth and concentrated his strength on his arms, trying to break free from the hemp rope in his hands.Suddenly, the third child stretched out a hand in front of him, and on the palm lay a big gray-brown spider. The eyes of the spider's head shone with faint light, and it was close at hand, and the fine hairs on its body could be seen. Shen Yao's face suddenly turned pale, and the strength in his body was instantly removed. He felt as if his throat was being choked, and even breathing became difficult, and his body seemed to be frozen.

"Hey, what's your expression?" The third child deliberately shook his hand in front of Shen Yao.

Shen Yao closed his eyes.

"Haha, let Maoyan play with you."

A fist-sized spider climbed onto Shen Yao's side face, and the memories of the past overlapped with the reality again, the gloomy eyes, the deep pit full of spiders, the rancid smell, the feeling of being swallowed...falling, drowning, collapsing, collapsing off...

"Take...Take it away..." Shen Yao trembled uncontrollably, closed his eyes and said softly.

"Huh? What? I can't hear it!" The third child's voice sounded exaggerated, and his thick fingers touched Shen Yao's lips, "Haha, please, please, I will take the spider away!" The noisy voice continued From the head, the noise made Shen Yao's ears hurt.

Shen Yao took a long breath and clenched his hands behind his back.

"Bang!—" The door of the hut was kicked open.

The third child jumped up in shock, and before he could see what was going on, he was hit in the chest, and his whole body flew backwards, hit the wall heavily, and then bounced off and fell to the ground.He had severe pain in his chest, spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and he did not know how many ribs were broken.

"Master Shen..." Xuan Qi rushed to Shen Yao and half-knelt down, seeing Shen Yao being bound and lying on the ground, his face was pale, his head was sweating coldly, his eyes were looking at him with helplessness that he had never seen before, There was also a big spider covering his face, he felt as if his heart had been grabbed by someone and squeezed hard, and it shifted suddenly, and his anger instantly ignited.

He swung the spider away with one hand, and flicked the insect away.With a flick of his cuff, a thin triangular dart slipped into his hand and was caught between his fingers. He quickly cut the rope on Shen Yao's body with the dart blade, and helped him into his arms.

Xuan Qi felt that Shen Yao buried his face in his neck, took two deep breaths, and his body gradually relaxed.

"Help me up." He heard Shen Yao whisper in his ear.

Xuan Qi did as he did, and when Shen Yao stood up, his complexion improved a lot.Xuan Qi was not at ease, and stretched out his hand to hold his wrist, felt his pulse, and made sure that there was no poisoning or internal injury, and then he was a little relieved.

"I'm fine," Shen Yao smiled weakly, stretched out his hand to pat the back of Xuan Qi's hand, and wiped his lower lip with his hand, "I'm just a little afraid of spiders..." He said in a soft and embarrassed voice, still leaning slightly on Xuan Qi's body .

Xuan Qi took the initiative to get closer to him, to give him more support, then turned his head and shot his eyes at the third child by the wall.

"Heroic man, spare your life... Cough cough," the youngest shrank back in fright, and begged for mercy, "I'm just a thug in the nursing home. It's none of my business to beat whoever the boss tells me to do. Heroic man, please spare me!"

As soon as Xuan Qi closed his pupils, his killing intent was fully revealed, and just when he was about to move, Shen Yao pulled him back.

Xuan Qi looked at Shen Yao, and Shen Yao said, "Let him take us to meet his boss."

"There are other people at the door who can take us there." Xuan Qi said.

"Xuan Qi!" Shen Yao gently shook his head, "Don't kill people randomly."

"..." Xuan Qi's eyes flickered on and off, and finally restrained her murderous aura.

"It's... just ahead." The third child clutched his chest, staggeringly led Shen Yao and Xuan Qi to the gate of a small courtyard south of Lexian Building, pointing to a small corridor inside, "Boss, this point Children usually rest on the second floor."

"En." Xuan Qi responded, and the next moment, he struck like the wind, just like dealing with other thugs, and tapped the acupuncture points of the third child, and the third child was instantly fixed on the spot.

He looked at Shen Yao, and Shen Yao's face was normal now.But Xuan Qi accidentally touched the back of his hand just now, and the tentacles were still cold.

"Let's go, let's meet the boss." Shen Yao said.

"Yes." Xuan Qi replied, and secretly took half a step closer to Shen Yao.

The two guards at the bottom of the small building were easily cleaned up. The two came to the second floor and broke in.

"Ah—" A woman's scream sounded. On the second floor, there was only a middle-aged lady in gold and silver, who was short and trying to hide under the table. Seeing that it was inevitable, she cried out in panic. stand up.

"Come on, come on!" The woman yelled, but no one appeared. She quickly recognized the situation and calmed down.

"What's the matter? Did the two of you break into my Lexian Building to ask for money or to spoil the scene?" She showed her well-known boss airs, sat down on the grand teacher's chair, raised her legs, and waved the gold-encrusted round fan in her hand and said, " No matter what the two of you are talking about, it is easy to discuss, and I, Li Xia, am not a stingy person, and I will never be stingy when money can solve it!"

"Heh, since Boss Li is so forthright, let's cut to the chase," Shen Yao said, "Boss Li, please tell me, what kind of medicine is in the 'Zui Liuxia' wine in Lexianlou? Where did it come from?"

"..." Li Xia was obviously taken aback, then turned her eyes, and said with a look of ignorance on her still pretty face, "What kind of medicine? Where can I find it?"

Shen Yao felt Xuan Qi looking at him, he turned his head to meet Xuan Qi's gaze, and saw Xuan Qi's request for instructions.Shen Yao suddenly realized that Xuan Qi actually had his own way of doing things, but he had seen this kind of asking for instructions many times when he was by his side. After saving myself, I still put my own opinion first. This feeling is like meeting a reliable partner after walking alone for a long time to share the hardships and dangers of the journey with him.

Shen Yao nodded at Xuan Qi.

The next moment, Li Xia only felt a swishing sound passing by her ears, and then, a piece of hair fell from her face.

"Ah—" Li Xia screamed, clutching her head. She turned her head and saw that a dart had been wedged into the wall behind her, and half of the dart body had disappeared into the wall.Turning around again, I saw the man who hadn't spoken just now raised his left finger to point at her, with a triangular dart similar to the one nailed on the wall between his index finger and middle finger.

The man's face was as deep as water, and his voice was icy cold. He stared at Li Xia's eyes and said, "I'm not as good-tempered as the young man next to me. If you don't say anything, this dart will hit your eyes."

"..." Li Xia grasped the armrest by her side. She saw her panicked reflection in the man's eyes, and also saw the sign of the man's pupil shrinking——

"Ah, I said, I said, don't kill me..." She yelled, "The water in the 'Zui Liuxia' is the water from the spring at the back of the Lexian Tower, not some kind of medicine."

There was another sound of wind brushing against the other ear, she turned her head and saw another dart nailed into the wall, Li Xia was so frightened that she fell from the grand teacher's chair to the ground, the tall and thin figure of the man approached her two steps, she Finally, he couldn't help crying, "Hero, please forgive me, what I'm telling is the truth—" Then, he explained the ins and outs of the matter like pouring beans.
